I took the question asked by the OP as a request to copy an old thread in order to add new comments in a new thread. To my mind, that is plagiarism. If you want to reopen an old topic, then you should link to the dormant thread, and add comments to justify an updated discussion.

1743  Other / Politics & Society / Herd immunity, the cure for Coronavirus. on: February 12, 2020, 11:19:21 AM
Isn't it time we stopped all this nonsense. The only real cure for Corona Viruses is herd immunity, and vaccinations and most pharmaceuticals block the development of herd immunity. Recent research shows that children who develop fevers under the age of one year, have healthier lives, and are less likely to develop leukemia. Please stop screwing up a system that nature took thousands of years to create, and concentrate on improving and stabilising our environment. Stopping people crapping in the streets of San Francisco is more important than injecting poisons into babies and creating an unhealthy population of junkies.
1744  Other / Meta / Re: BitcoinTalk can become the facebook of money on: February 12, 2020, 11:08:47 AM
I really must get round to looking at this new fangled Facebook thing. Do you guys think it is here to stay?  The only use I see  of it is kids taking pictures down their throats. and giggling over them. The other use seems to be girls taking pictures up their skirts in McD, and sending those round the net. Maybe I've got it wrong,but I don't want to keep my wallet in my underwear. Smiley
1745  Other / Meta / Re: Remove red trust, it is nothing but noise. Getting sickening to watch. on: February 11, 2020, 08:40:08 AM

This is exactly why subjective personal opions are not to be tolerated.


All my opions (sic) are subjective and personal. Anything else would compromise my morality. If you don't agree with me, then you can use discussion to attempt to change my opinion, or just put me on ignore. I agree that trust shouldn't be a weapon, but most of those weaponising it seem to be those wielding broken swords, after they have been exposed.
1746  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is in mind of those, who against vaccination? on: February 10, 2020, 08:10:45 AM
. After the birth of a child he is vaccinated with regard to his health so that he will not have any problems in his later life.

That isn't completely true. After the birth of a child, he is injected with disease and toxins to weaken his immune system, and to impair his natural development. This attempts to ensure that he won't have a later life.

1748  Other / Serious discussion / Visa merchant fee chages. on: February 09, 2020, 07:07:22 PM
It seems that Visa is going to make a few changes to their fee structures. They seem to be small, but they may be significant. They will be reducing charges for bricks and mortar businesses, and this seems to be the result of competition in this area. However, they are increasing prices for on-line retailers, and perhaps they feel this is because they have a monopoly in this area. I think this could be bullish for Bitcoin and some other alts, as retailers will no doubt start to experiment with alternatives to Visa.
1749  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [GUIDE] A good post/reply and formatting on: February 09, 2020, 06:52:16 PM
One good tip is to avoid structures like the OP. Busy information hunters won't bother to read it, as it slows down the reading process.

If you are a programmer - here is a vid on how ro build a blockchain using Python.

If you have an economics background, then you need to study central banks, and the impact of fractional reserve  banking.. There are lots of videos about these. Also you should take part in some of the more mature discussion here in Bitcoin Talk.
1751  Other / Meta / Re: More mod-privileges for specific child-boards on: February 09, 2020, 07:29:28 AM

Given that scams aren't moderated, are mods often moderating inaccurate information? I've certainly seen tons of post with either inaccurate or outright false information in a variety of boards that don't get deleted. I've always felt that it's better to make a post correcting the mistake so other people can learn from the thread too.

I with this, as it keeps everything out in the open. Inappropriate post deletion can kill a discussion, and lead to the loss of members. It is much better to correct an incorrect opinion, and then the poster can learn from it.
1752  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bird Flu Virus spreading in China!!! on: February 08, 2020, 11:20:44 AM
You can't be infected by a coronavirus through eating cooked food, but you can pick it up if the virus in on the dishes, utensils, tables, or in the environment. People have no idea of hygiene or infection.  I've seen mothers pick up a piece of chicken that a kid has dropped on the floor in McDonalds, and give it back to the kid to eat. I'm in favour of stimulating the immune system, but you need to be sensible about it, and I'm not sure what McD uses to wash the floor, or what is tramped in from the car parks and car foot wells.
1753  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Will energy become a blockchain currency? on: February 07, 2020, 08:34:30 AM
It looks as if the creation of energy could make a major shift with the rise of thorium molten salt reactors. Not only is that a clean safe way to produce electricity, but I gather that there is a significant secondary benefit. It seems it is possible to extract carbon from the atmosphere and manufacture a liquid fuel for use in conventional internal combustion engines. What a great alternative to electric cars. Smiley
1754  Other / Politics & Society / Re: God is in Control on: February 06, 2020, 04:00:59 PM
There are so many gods, so how do you know which is the correct one?

I believe in Mother Nature, and her ability to constantly improve the environment, and the rich diversity of life on it. She has already solved the coronavirus problem, and people are recovering. However we can't leave it alone, so we will continue to inject poison and disease into people's arms to enrich the bankers. This will create an even more crippled population ready for the next pandemic.
1755  Other / Meta / Re: Blocking your account for 14 days on: February 06, 2020, 02:52:35 PM
Why do so many people assume that rules apply to other people, and not to them? Unless you are the forum owner, or you are sleeping with him, then the rules apply to you.
1756  Other / Meta / Re: Is there any possibility to put on ignore every member who display a signature? on: February 04, 2020, 03:26:17 PM
Not all signatures are bad. Some members promoting bounties, and really great and helpful posters.

In my opinion, it's far better to add individual members to your ignore list.

1758  Other / Meta / Re: Claim to the moderator of the Russian section of Xal0lex on: February 02, 2020, 09:45:25 PM
Obviously I have no knowledge of this situation, as I am not a Russian speaker. I would like to make some general comments on moderation though.

Moderators hold the future of the forum in their hands, and it is a big responsibility. They will become unpopular, and this is why many have to remain anonymous. Keeping a forum free of spam, and undesirable posts is a monumental task. However, the deletion of threads and post, or the moving of them to boards that are less desirable in the view of the poster, can be destructive and damaging to the forum. I walked from the mining board because I felt that the moderation there was designed to maintain a small clique of posters, and was not aimed at encouraging members who may be new to mining. I have had projects killed by a moderator, and I am now reluctant to start any new ones. I have seen many comments about similar experiences. What is evident is that the forum has changed, and many good members no longer contribute.

My suggestion is that a moderator reviewer is appointed, and that any post or topic by a Full Member or above is checked by this reviewer, and a moderator who may not be acting in the best interests of the forum or a board is given some guidance. I no longer bother to complain about what I consider to be bad moderation of my posts, as I feel that these complaints don't help the forum. However, it is certain that the forum is losing a many good posts by members as a result of bad moderation. This is not just the posts of the members, but as a result of these members reducing their contributions.

1760  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Brexit deal passes the European Parliament. 621 - 49. on: January 31, 2020, 07:12:48 AM
Yep, the level of knowledge and misinformation about Britain is astronomical. I get trashed for saying that the modern British Empire controls the EU, but when I ask who is in charge, then nobody can say. It certainly isn't the fake parliament. The EU was afailed experiment from the very beginning, and the ruling elite will try to morph it into something else, or they will replace it. Maybe it will be an enlarged British Commonwealth. The situation was rather like a modern liner being shackled behind a leaky old dredging barge, and the chains are being cut. The barge owners are desperately trying to hitch themselves behind the freed liner, but they aren't trying to fix the leaks. It is obvious to anybody who stops to think about it, that the EU can no longer survive on its own, and we will see more countries breaking free over the next year of so.

I just hope that we are strong, and regain our fishing grounds and air space, and we resist the poisonous chlorinated chicken that the US is trying to dump on us. It's sad that Trump doesn't spend some of his war chest by improving food quality for Americans. Talking of food quality, we had higher standards before we were sucking into the EU, and it looks as if we can regain these once we are free of restrictions. If you don'r believe me, then try some Somerset brie, and compare it with the sterile French equivalent that the French dump onto us.
